Watch: Lindsey Graham Buries Any Hope That Dems Will Impeach Trump On Whistleblower “Sham”

While on “Face the Nation,” Chair of the Senate Judicial Committee, Sen. Lindsey Graham, wasn’t mincing words and was telling hostess Margaret Brennan it like it is.

Graham went after the “whistleblower” and the phone call to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in July which Democrats claim is Trump asking a foreign power to investigate former VP Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Democrats are using this phone call as a means to impeach Trump.

Graham, however, doesn’t see anything there and made it clear that Democrats have absolutely nothing but hearsay based on the fact that this whistleblower only heard about this phone call from a different source. Graham made it clear that Trump, being an American, gets to face his accuser in court just like everybody else, and that all of this if flimsy at best.

“I can’t believe we’re talking about impeaching the president based on an accusation based on hearsay. Who is this whistleblower? What bias do they have? Why did they pick this whistleblower to tell a hearsay story? The transcript does not match the complaint,” said Graham. “What’s going on here? Why did they change the rules about a whistleblower you can use hearsay when you could not just weeks before the complaint?”

Graham later made sure everyone understood that the whistleblower complaint is complete nonsense by pointing out the transcripts don’t point to any quid pro quo and that the phone call is nothing but Trump suggesting that the Ukrainian government may have some corrupt people within it for firing an AG who was investigating Hunter Biden.

Graham made it clear that Trump won’t be impeached for this as long as he’s around.

“This whistleblower complaint is based on hearsay. We’re not going to impeach a president on hearsay as long as I’m around,” said Graham. “This is a sham. There is a political smell to this that’s far different from Mueller.”

First time I’ve seen or heard of Margaret Brennan...

and she is just dreadful.

[Innovative]

I think Graham is making up for his past sins with his current strong support of Trump.

Great and I hope he keeps it up.

[SeekAndFind]

I was surprised at how great Lindsay was during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation farce.

First time I’ve seen or heard of Margaret Brennan... and she is just dreadful.

She has a perpetual scowl face, kinda like she has gas. Very unpleasant and totally full of BS, just another hate filled member of the corrupt media. They are all the same. You should have seen Chuck FU Todd on Sunday, almost had a heart attack as he aggressively lied to protect his dems.

[wiseprince]

He just wants to be re elected. 4 years left and last two years hard right gurantees re-election. He learned from McCain it’s transparent.

[erkelly]

Lindsay Graham must have had a bad nose cold at the time of the Mueller nonsense, because it sure had a political stink to it that you could smell all the way to the Sierras.

[Grampa Dave]

First time I’ve seen or heard of Margaret Brennan...

Looks like she is about to cry because, an adult told her the realities of their fake impeachment/fake news.

[Hotlanta Mike]

By any means necessary...the democrats should be tried for sedition.

[TianaHighrider]

Praise God. I was wondering when any Congressmen will start speaking out in his defense.

[plain talk]

“Graham made it clear that Trump won’t be impeached for this as long as he’s around.”

The Senate doesn’t impeach. The House impeaches. As a former House Manager I would think Graham knows that.

[Savage Beast]

Of course it's nonsense.

The Democrats are desperate. They know that President Trump is going to be re-elected in 2020 in a landslide victory.

They also know that if his objective, to bring the America back from the brink of self-destructive decadence, make America great, and restore America to ascendency, succeeds, he will have been the greatest President in US history. This is a nightmare to them.

But what's worse, from their viewpoint, is that he will cast the Light of Truth on every administration since Clinton's, and they fear that this will destroy them. It is TRUTH that they fear most. This is their greatest nightmare.

Consequently, they have no choice but to go for broke, put everything they have into a last ditch, scorched earth effort to stop him, whatever the cost.

It's like Wile E. Coyote bringing out his last and greatest cannon. (Note tagline.)

I watched the whole exchange between Sen. Graham and this dimwitted news babe yesterday.

Overall, I thought he hammered the main point quite effectively — the complaint is hearsay that would be laughed out of a court of law.

I know some FReepers won’t forgive Lindsey for some of his past missteps, but I’m keeping my ears open and my mind open. I certainly thought he ate this news chick’s lunch yesterday.

Tickets to ride the Trump train are always on sale. Heck, even the egregious John “Son of a Mailman” Kasich is on record recently against impeachment.

I’d be inclined to welcome any ally — except maybe Mitt and Bill Kristol.

What happened to the old guy who was the face of Face the Nation.

I can’t even think of his name. Did he have a me, too moment?

What happened to the old guy who was the face of Face the Nation. I can’t even think of his name. Did he have a me, too moment?

I think he was a temp until they could find a non old white male host. Bob Sheiffer?

[Conserv]

Yes, that’s him. What happened to Bob Schieffer?

He was ten times better than this dolt.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

“He just wants to be re elected. 4 years left and last two years hard right gurantees re-election. He learned from McCain it’s transparent.”

Exactly. And with politicians like Graham, I watch what they do, not what they say they will do.

[Conserv]

Google tells me he retired.

Retirement from broadcasting

On April 8, 2015, Schieffer announced his intention to retire as host of Face the Nation while speaking at his alma mater, Texas Christian University, in Fort Worth. Schieffer departed after working in journalism for 52 years, 46 of those years with CBS.

We’re not going to impeach a president on hearsay as long as I’m around,” said Graham.

Since Graham is not in the House he really doesn't have a say in the matter, does he?

[BRL]

Graham wants to be president. He is following trumps formula.
